Poor Juli! She should be seen by a vet immediately if you think she may have eaten rat poison. Certain poisons prevent the blood from clotting normally and can result in internal bleeding. Other poisons damage the nervous system and may cause what you have described. It may also be caused by trauma or a number of other toxins. I hope all is well with Juli!
